YOU BETTER READ THIS BEFORE DRINKING AND EATING YOUR NEXT MEAL

“There is no question that HFCS-90 is illegal. The FDA has stated it doesn’t have adequate information to assess its safety, and that additional data on the effects of fructose consumption are needed to ensure that this product is safe.”

The FDA has only authorized the use of HFCS with a maximum 55% fructose concentration. HFCS-90 contains 90% fructose. Extensive medical studies have linked excess fructose consumption to serious health risks including obesity, [...]

Researchers find high-fructose corn syrup may be tied to worldwide collapse of bee colonies

(Phys.org) —A team of entomologists from the University of Illinois has found a possible link between the practice of feeding commercial honeybees high-fructose corn syrup and the collapse of honeybee colonies around the world. The team outlines their research and findings in a paper they’ve had published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Since approximately 2006, groups that manage commercial honeybee colonies have been reporting what has become known as colony collapse [...]

Drinking fructose beverages keeps brain from registering feeling of being full.

January 2, 2013

Scientists have used imaging tests to show for the first time that fructose, a sugar that saturates the American diet, can trigger brain changes that may lead to overeating.

After drinking a fructose beverage, the brain does not register the feeling of being full as it does when simple glucose is consumed, researchers found.

The small study does not prove that fructose or its relative, high-fructose corn syrup, can cause [...]

How Corn Syrup Might Be Making Us Hungry-and Fat. Duh!

“Grocery store aisles are awash in foods and beverages that contain high-fructose corn syrup. It is common in sodas and crops up in everything from ketchup to snack bars. This cheap sweetener has been an increasingly popular additive in recent decades and has often been fingered as a driver of the obesity epidemic.

These fears may be well founded. Fructose, a new study finds, has a marked affect on the brain [...]

Seven toxic foods, drinks, and additives to cut out of your diet for good

Diet sodas and beverages sweetened with artificial chemicals. One of the more common dietary misconceptions in mainstream society today is the idea that “diet” beverages are somehow healthier than their sugar-sweetened beverages.

For once, Kudos to the FDA: FDA rejects new name for High Fructose Corn Syrup!

NEW YORK (AP) — High fructose corn syrup won’t get a wholesome new name after all.

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday rejected the Corn Refiners Association’s bid to rename its sweetening agent “corn sugar.”

The use of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been long associated with fatty liver disease, diabetes and increases in obesity, but a new study has investigated its effects on the brain.

A study on the evils of sugar wants government to legally ban kids from convenience stores, just like bars

Last year, The New York Times profiled Robert Lustig, the leading expert in childhood obesity at UC San Francisco’s School of Medicine. The article, subtly titled “Is Sugar Toxic?”, explored Lustig’s efforts to convince the American public that sugar is, yes, a toxin, to say nothing of “evil.” Lustig is back, this time in the February 4 issue of the journal Nature (hidden behind a paywall). Together with two other health-policy researchers, [...]
